1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
Revell , 1/25 , KitNr.85-4910

This Charger (and a couple more models) i bought from a collegue. he past away and i wanted some of his builts as memories to him.
as it was delivered, parts were fallen apart and the rear window fell out as well. i had no chance, to disassemble, was glued very strong. so i decided, to weather it. some flat tires and thats it. I made this on the day i weathered my Edsel. So the missing rear window in minor matter now.
While i write this sentences i think about to cover the rear window with foil and tape ?...and it rests on a diorama of mine.

Really good work! How do you do that? Is it made with Tamiya weathering kits or some other method?

Dear Anton, for the weathering i used

- my airbrush with white from valeo as basic on the "sunburnt" spots

- next layer are colors from Schmincke Aero, i use pigment colors, they are more transparent. light and dark brown.

- some rust traces i used the airbrush too or/and a pencil with the same color. 

- after that i use products from AK and Terpentine to have the traces of water that washes off the dirt (on the wing f.e or behind the rear wheels on the fender) . I used wintergrime, rust streaks, streaking grime, slime grime dark.
